Who is Fox News journalist Harris Faulkner – does she support US President Donald Trump, and what is her beef with The View talk show hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin?
The long-time Fox News host, who refers to herself as a ‘cougar’, fears antisemitism will affect her biracial daughters – she’s also a fan of Trump, yet bristles at being labelled ‘far-right’
Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner’s 11am news show, The Faulkner Focus, was watched by 2.5 million viewers for January, edging out its competitor, ABC’s The View, for the first time.
“On The View, there is this sort of, shout it, cuss it, do whatever you gotta do to get a little more attention around the hot topics,” the TV host said. “We have lots of guests who feel spicy and passionate about what they say,” she added. “That’s not unique to The View or to any other show that I’ve done. What I do think is unique to them is vitriol.”
Faulkner went on to compare The View to a Massachusetts council meeting on February 11, which was interrupted by transgender activists yelling at the city leaders.
“It looks like one of those anti-Doge meetings or the hearings on Capitol Hill. Democrats right now are apoplectic and they’re shouting and they’re cussing at us,” she claimed.
